XIV. Temperance

 

The world’s last vampire, Dr Richard DeWashingley, had worked for the past fifty years for a cure for his condition. He had calmly, deliberately and rationally sought to restore his health to a human standard – so he would no longer have to stalk evildoers in Raccoon City and feast on their blood, and then destroy them utterly to prevent his condition spreading.

 

His approach paid off, and after those five hard decades of work in which he trained body and mind in the scientific disciplines he needed and began his research as he earned his doctorate, he was but hours off the completion of the final cure. It would be a simple virus that would re-write his own genetic structure to match that of a human, and then break down to nothing. Now, gentle reader, I am sure you are aware of the virus problems that Raccoon City became famous for, but I assure you that Dr DeWashingley’s virus was nothing of the sort.

 

It worked properly with no negative side effects. After he administered it to himself, he lay in a fever for some time. He dropped into a temporary coma as his brain was regenerated. His unconscious state meant that he did not hear the sounds of panic and violence outside, in the city, as the Umbrella Corporation’s far less benign virus turned the population into ravening flesh-hungry zombies.

 

The good doctor awoke feeling weak. His senses were operating at human levels, just as he remembered them from tens of years past when last he was human. His sensible calm approach had restored him to true health. Dr DeWashingley felt he could test his regained humanity initially with an unscientific approach, and selected an old photo of Clara Bow from his bedside table.

 

He had lusted after the silent movie starlet in life, but vampires like Dr DeWashingley had no sexual urges. They reproduced by spreading the vampirism, not by fucking. As a human though, he felt blood pump into his penis again as he gazed on her face, and began to masturbate for the first time in more than half a century. He stroked himself quickly, not too roughly, and dreamt old dreams of Clara.

 

He groaned softly as he felt the pleasure of climax, but his penis barely dribbled any ejaculate. He realised that his newly re-humanised testicles had not yet produced much sperm. Relaxed and no longer a vampire, he drifted off to sleep as the city died around him. Had he known of the terror now sweeping the streets, he might have preferred to remain a Vampire. His cured vampirism could have offered some measure of protection.

 

He awoke the next morning to the sound of his Laboratory’s external doorbell. It rang continuously, and he realised that somebody must be holding it down. He was annoyed, partly, to be disturbed so. Equally though, Dr DeWashingley was elated – he could interact with humans as a fellow again, rather than a predator.

 

He paused only to wrap his white lab coat around his naked frame, and dashed out of his lab, and down to the outside door. In his hurry, he failed to check the CCTV viewer to see whom his visitor was. Dr DeWashingley swung open the door, and gasped. A very dead man was slumped against the bell, causing it to ring. His student neighbour Missy was chewing red strips of flesh from the man’s chest.

 

As a vampire, he had killed humans and drunk their blood – but it had always been a relatively clean process, a simple neck bite. His newly humanised senses were violently assaulted by the sight, sounds and smells of the zombie Missy chewing on the stranger. He was fatally shocked into inaction. Missy lurched away from the stranger and against Dr DeWashingley.

 

“No!” he cried, “Get away from me!”

 

She looked through milky eyes that showed no hint of recognition. All she wanted was the hot meat. Dr DeWashinley dripped back over his own doorstep, and sprawled in the hall. His white coat came open and revealed his skinny pale body to the once-pretty zombie girl. Missy dropped onto him, pulling herself up his body. Dr DeWashingley lashed out with his hands, but Missy was past caring about pain.

 

To his horror, he realised that the girl’s cold bodied moving on him was making his penis hard again. It had been decades without sex, but Dr DeWashingley had never imagined being aroused by a walking corpse – even as a Vampire when some would say he technically was one. It was a purely physical reaction, for his mind was repulsed. Missy sat astride Dr DeWashingley, and pulled his hand up to her mouth. He tried to tug back, and then screamed as she bit off a finger.

 

Blood splashed the zombie girl’s face as she chewed. Dr DeWashingley was infected with the virus that would see him become undead again, but he didn’t know it yet. All he could think of besides the pain was the sick irony of ending his undeath state, returning to health, only to be killed. Missy’s crotch moved on his, and instinctively following an action from life, she reached down under her skirt, and slipped his hard cock into her.

 

Dr DeWashingley groaned as he penetrated the zombie. He tried to push her away, but succeeded only in rocking her on him. Missy moaned, then lowered her head to bite Dr DeWashingley’s chest. The new virus was already spreading through his body. He felt the pain turn to a hot sensation, and the unwilling pleasure that came from Missy’s body moving on his reached his brain.

 

Missy continued to tear chunks out of Dr DeWashingley’s chest with her teeth while the dying former vampire began willingly to hump up into her. He could not tell if she groaned with pleasure or hunger, but her cries spurred him on. His own eyes clouded over as he came dryly inside Missy. His last coherent thought was of the great injustice of it all. Fifty years of temperance were rewarded with ugly, brutal death.
